Writing group leader at the Fremont library said "just write the boring part first" and it actually saved my short story
I'd been stuck for about 3 weeks on a prompt about a guy losing his keys, and I kept trying to open with some big dramatic scene. Carol, who runs our Thursday group, said to write the dull middle first, the part where he's just standing in his driveway, and work out from there. I did it in one sitting and the story actually holds together now. Anyone else get given a weirdly simple writing tip like that from a workshop leader?
